Pencil Hardness. Gouge hardness of the test surface was measured according to ASTM
D3363-05. Hardness was reported for the hardest pencil that left the test surface uncut for a stroke length of at least 3 mm, using pencils obtained from General Pencil Company, Redwood City, California.
Surface Roughness. Surface roughness was measured with a portable surface profile gauge, model "POCKETSURF", obtained from Mahr Federal, Inc., Providence, Rhode Island. The reported results were the average of 5 readings.
Paint Stripper Uptake. The test panel was weighed and an area of 4 cm by 5 cm was marked. Four grams of a benzyl alcohol-based paint stripper, type "CEE BEE
E2012A", obtained from Cee Bee Aviation Products, McGean-Rohco, Inc. Cleveland, Ohio, was brushed onto the test area. After 24 hours at 70 F (21.1 C) the paint stripper was manually scraped off the test area, and the panel then rinsed with iso-propyl alcohol.
After drying the panel for 60 minutes at 70 F (21.1 C) it was reweighed. The increased weight of the test panel was reported as paint stripper uptake.
Panel Mark Off. The test panel was visually inspected following the paint stripper uptake test. Any deterioration in appearance was recorded accordingly.

-4-Micro Crack Testing. Micro crack testing was performed on primed and painted test panels. The primer was CA 7501 two part fluid resistance gray applied as a single light coat. The paint was 8800 three part white topcoat, applied to the primed panel in two coats. The paint and primer are available from PRC Desoto, Sylmar, California.
Mixing and drying were performed as per manufacturer's instructions. Micro crack testing was conducted in a thermal shock chamber, a two chamber oven with a shuttle that can be moved between the two chambers. One chamber was set at -54 C (-65 F) and the other at 49 C (120 F). The shuttle is programmed to sit in each chamber for 10 minutes before moving back to the other chamber. Samples were placed on a rack which was loaded onto the shuttle. The samples were cycled between the two chambers between 3000 and cycles. The panels were inspected for micro cracks using an optical microscope at a magnification of 16x. A known area is inspected and the cracks per linear cm were calculated. Zero cracks observed after all cycles were complete was rated a "pass", less than or equal to 0.25 cracks per linear cm was rated a "marginal pass", and greater than 0.25 cracks per linear cm was rated a "fail".

The solution was mixed, to which a catalyst premix of 1.84 grams of 3-methyl-l-phenyl-2-phospholene-l-oxide in 12.5 grams of toluene, was then added.
The batch was slowly heated, for approximately 60 minutes, to 230 F, then held at this temperature for 3 hours. Using infrared spectroscopy to confirm the isocyanate had been consumed, the mixture was then cooled 75 F.

4D/6MH"
Loparex, Inc,. Iowa City, Iowa, at a bar gap of 6 mil (152.4 m). The coated liner was then allowed to dry for at least 1 hour at about 70 F (21.1 Q.
Coupons of the dried polymeric composites Comparative A, Examples 1-7, plus adhesive structural film 905M (designated Comparative B), and composite surfacing film AF 191U (designated Comparative C), were prepared as follows. Each surfacing film was trimmed to 12-inch by 12-inch (30.4 by 30.4 cm) sections and applied to a layup tool.
One ply of pre-impregnated graphite fabric, followed by additional plies of unidirectional pre-impregnated grade 190 graphite tape, orientated at 0/+45/+90/-45/0/0/-45/90/+45/0 degrees. The layup was placed in a vacuum bag with surfacing film directly against the tool surface which was then positioned in an autoclave. A full vacuum of about 28 inches mercury (94.8 kPa) was applied at approximately 72 F (22 C) for 10 to 15 minutes after which the external pressure was gradually increased to 55 psi (397 kPa). The vacuum bag was kept under full vacuum (28 inches of Hg) for the duration of the cure cycle, and the temperature was raised at 5 F per minute (2.8 C per minute) up to 350 F (177 C) and held at this temperature for 2 hours. The cured polymeric composite article with surfacing approximately 72 F (22 C) temperature, at which point the pressure was released, and the cured article having an approximate thickness of 0.045 inches (0.114 mm) was removed from the autoclave and vacuum bag.
Each coupon was measured for pencil hardness, gloss, surface roughness, panel mark off and paint stripper uptake. In addition, coupons corresponding to Examples 5 and 6 were tested for microcrack resistance. Results are listed in Table 3.
